LIGHT belongs to the TNF family of ligands, and can signal through the herpes virus entry mediator type A receptor （HVEM, TNFRSF14）, LTβR, or bind to a decoy receptor, DcR3.
It is expressed in splenocytes, activated PBL, CD8+ tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, granulocytes, and monocytes.
LIGHT has the ability to active NF-κB, to co-stimulate the activation of lymphocytes and to induce apoptosis in certain human tumor cells.
The human LIGHT gene encodes for a 240 amino acid type II transmembrane protein containing a 37 amino acid cytoplasmic domain, a 21 amino acid transmembrane domain, and a 182 amino acid extracellular domain.
The BioGems Human LIGHT Pre-Coated ELISA （Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay） kit is a solid phase immunoassay specially designed to measure LIGHT with a 96-well strip plate that is pre-coated with mouse monoclonal antibody specific for LIGHT.
It contains NS0-expressed recombinant LIGHT.
The detection antibody is a biotinylated goat polyclonal antibody specific for LIGHT.
The kit is analytically validated with ready to use reagents.
